A lovely card from Pixiwoo.

Pixiwoo/Real techniques...

I have been a huge fan of Sam Chapman and Nic Haste for many years now, (aka Pixiwoo), and I have been lucky enough to be in touch with Sam for a good number of years.  She is so down to earth and when I contacted her to ask if she could sign a card for my Daughter, she didn't hesitate!  I also managed to buy my daughter some Real Techniques brushes and she was so excited when she opened them on Christmas day, they are lovely to work with and make applying make-up a real doddle!  Sam and Nic also sent me a lovely card too, which has pride of place in my make-up studio. Sam often comments/likes my work on Facebook, which is always a huge compliment to me, as I have a lot of respect for her.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, I had a great time! Its always so great to see my lovely family and friends...but far too much food and drink was consumed as usual!  Anyway, back to work and I have been inundated with enquiries and bookings for 2014/15.  2014 is nearly booked up now, with limited availability, so just contact me and I will check to see if I am available for you.  I have had quite a few bookings for 2015 too, so again, just contact me to check.  Happy new year everyone xxx

Healing Manor hotel.

Things have been very hectic for me recently...I have been busy preparing and shooting at the Healing manor, which is a beautiful gem, tucked away in the little village of Healing - http://www.healingmanorhotel.co.uk/ The restaurant here is fantastic and the food and service is great, everyone is so friendly and helpful here. Healing Manor is set in 38 acres + of Lincolnshire countryside and is simply stunning and is being restored back to its glory, having being given the respect it deserves...finally!

I have been taking lots of wedding bookings for this beautiful venue for 2013 and 2014 and I can honestly say, the bridal suite here is breath-taking and I can highly recommend.  There are 40 rooms too, which are currently being renovated.  This is one venue not to be overlooked...but to be booked!

Please see  I had the pleasure of working with the amazing Stella and Alf, (exquisite clothing range.) -http://www.stellaandalf.com/ We also had the honour of having the use of a beautiful, classic car from Graham Chapman - http://www.grahamchapmanclassiccars.com/which looked stunning with our theme and model.  Hair was by Scott James Preston-Smith, who is from Stephens' hair studio.

I also met the lovely and talented Leanne Surfleet - http://www.leannesurfleet.com/ who is an awesome photographer, and I am really looking forward to seeing her work from our shoot.

Tina Brocklebank Make-up artist reviews -

After working in this industry for such a long time, you would think I would get a bit complacent about things, but I never do.  I still love to receive thank-you letters and feedback from the lovely people I have the pleasure of meeting and working with.  I have a huge folder full of thank-you letters and they always bring a tear to my eye when I read how much they appreciate what I do for them on their special day.  I also think that you never stop learning.  I am constanty striving to do the best I can for people, buying in the best make-up and moving with the times.

I do have a Facebook page, where people can leave reviews and you are more than welcome to leave a review on there if I have assisted you.  The link is - https://www.facebook.com/TinaBrocklebankMUA  There are already countless reviews, which I am very proud of.  I have worked extremely hard over the past 20 odd years, and even more so to gain an excellent reputation as "the best Make-up artist in the Lincolnshire area."  That is something I used to strive for and I am very proud to say that many people now say that of me.  I have worked so hard over the years and I am proud to say that I have achieved all I want to achieve.

I also love doing fashion/photographic make-up too, afterall, I was trained at the London College of Fashion and I do love to diversify and also stretch myself.  I was lucky enough to be taught by the wonderful Julia Townend (London based make-up and body artist),  and also Sheelagh Wells, (Make-up designer and Doctor Who Make-up artist, she was also awarded a BAFTA.)

I also run make-up artist workshops and a lovely lady came all the way from Suffolk to train with me, (she had also trained with Pixiwoo.)

And so...I shall carry on doing what I do best.  I love my job...how many people can say that? it is definitely not a glamorous job by any means, it is hard work too!

I am still writing my regular column for the Journal magazine, which I love.  I never tire of harping on about make-up!  I am constantly looking at make-up tutorials, (I do keep in touch with Samantha Chapman from time to time of Pixiwoo/Real techniques fame.  Sam is also the wonderful Maggie Hunts' niece, who I am lucky enough to be in touch with too, and I respect her work and experience very much too.)   It is always a huge compliment when someone like her acknowledges my work, and she has been known to "like" my work on Facebook!  Although, we all like compliments don't we, and I love it when indeed anyone likes my work!

If there is anything I can help you with make-up wise or if there is something you would like me to write about in my column, please get in touch!  I am still busy with make-up trials and make-up lessons at the moment.  I also have a few shoots lined up at the wonderful Healing Manor (watch this space.)

Anyway, enough ranting for now! thank-you for reading.  Tina xxx

 

 

Bridy the beautiful Bride! Make-up by Tina Brocklebank.Photo by GJA photography.

Wedding make-up at Stoke Rochford hall, Grantham...

 

I recently had the pleasure of working at the stunning Stoke Rochford hall in Grantham for a wedding.  I love travelling and working as a make-up artist.  Not only do I get to see lots of beautiful venues but I get to work with such lovely people too.  I always love receiving my thank-you letters afterwards!

The brief given for this wedding was glamorous, so I knew I could really go for it with the make-up.  Bridy wanted "Hollywood inspired glamour" so I went for a clean eye make-up, black liner with lashes and red lips, she looked amazing!

Then for her daughter, (who was Bridesmaid), we went for smokey, sparkly eyes with false lashes and nude lips, she looked beautiful.  I used mainly Bobbi Brown but I also used Mac false lashes with Make-up Forever diamond powder, which looks so beautiful and glamorous.

Wedding season is still in full swing with lots of bookings being taken still for next year with limited availability, so please get in touch if you wanted to book.

Please see my Facebook page for further images.

I am really impressed with the new Bobbi Brown lip palette, it caters for all skin tones and has lots of lip colours and textures to choose from, (please see photo by Melbourne photography.) This was taken at The Habrough hotel.

I am getting very busy for the end of this year and also nearly booked up for next year, so please contact me to check availability/if you would like to book!
